Fast Forward is one of the few names in cheap clothing to rock the city. And does it ever! The place is chokingly packed with shoppers looking for a steal. Spread over 1,000 sq ft, it houses international brands like the ones already mentioned, and a few others like Nautica, Gap, Versace, Harley Davidson, Espirit, Ecko and Zara. And in case you question the credibility of the merchandise as against its prices, you can rest assured. This merchandise is had so thanks to cancelled shipments, overruns and export surpluses.

From party wear to night wear to formal wear, casual wear, sports wear and underwear, Fast Forward is a one stop shop. Hot pants, low rise denims, Irish linen drawstrings, skirts, T-shirts, capris, pajamas, lingerie, shirts, halters, spaghettis, soccer jerseys, perfumes, Kachchi printed handbags, packable pants, kurtas, socks, junk jewelry and what not. And all priced between Rs. 25 and Rs. 1,099.

So much so, they even sell hammocks. Yes, hammocks! Those comfy looking babies that you see people serenely lounging on on television, wondering all the time how you could get your grubby hands on one of 'em. Here's how. By coughing up Rs. 1,800 or Rs. 3,950.

So sit back, relax, and let your wallet nose your way around this place.
